I was already using SQLyog Community edition for a while, and thus got to see how good Webyog's support was. This is one of the major facts that made me feel safe with investing in both MONyog and SQLyog Enterprise - those products are constantly evolving, and the developers listen closely to the customers. I personally asked for some features or changes that found their way into the product extremely fast - on some occasions in less than a week!

MONyog basically just gave me exactly what I needed. Checking on the current and past state of the servers became a no-brainer. When someone asks me about a high load on a certain day - I can answer in minutes what was the condition of database at that moment. With the new Disk Info tool, finding out where your space is wasted is as easy as it gets.

No need to use sets of custom scripts and hack all kinds of small solutions together - MONyog does it all for you, the moment you install it.

MONyog is the best out-of-the-box GUI monitoring tool for MySQL that I have seen. It "just works." As promised, getting up and running quickly is easy, and having a centralized location for monitoring is very useful. The graphs are beautiful and the statistics that are graphed are useful time-savers.

The biggest difference between MySQL's Enterprise Monitor and MONyog is that MONyog is agentless. At Pythian, we have many clients with differing security requirements. Requiring a daemon process to be running is not something we currently do, and it might be a hard sell for some clients. Even if every client was amenable to it, making sure the daemon is up and running on each MySQL server is tedious. Note that agentless operation works for every feature, including log analysis as well as operating system statistics.

First of all, I have tried every MySQL Client that exists on the market in different platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac) but SQLyog Enterprise is the best MySQL Client in the world! Now I am using Linux desktop for PHP script development and I am surprised that SQLyog also works flawlessly with WINE.

The best thing about SQLyog Enterprise is the ability to access remote servers via HTML protocol by uploading a SQLyog tunnel file via FTP, which is indispensable for me when I need to install my PHP/MySQL scripts so I don't have to request access info for client's hosting control panels (which is very sensible) to be able to use phpMyAdmin all the time.

The only bad thing about using SQLyog Enterprise is, you will forget about using SQL commands because almost everything can be done via MySQL GUI!

When I came across SQLyog Enterprise, I was using an SQL manager application from another company. It worked, but had massive stability problems. I especially had problems backing up databases on my US based servers (I live in the UK) as the connection was unstable. In addition, the product gave no feedback on its progress when performing table's exports. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, with SQLyog Enterprise, the connection was as steady as a rock and I got full feedback, so I didn't have to wait long periods of time for the application to become responsive when dumping out larg(ish) database tables of several hundred MB in size. This is a fantastic product with excellent support and definitely a product you can trust with your data, unlike some other products I have used.
